Yes, he calls his vest 'Thumper'.

Yes Dolson, Terri got it right. I think that "naming" my loftily named Respirtech Airway Clearing Device "Thumper" probably grew from a wish to cope with the dreary reality of tethering myself for a couple of half-hour sessions everyday, dare I say it, "for the rest of my life." To call the contraption by an obviously trivializing name and eventually writing a song about it and during the past Holiday season spinning a yarn about it based around "A visit from Santa" (aka "The Night Before Christmas.") These innocent efforts I think are the embodiment of an old saw; maybe one can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse after all. I've had a good deal of fun at it and reaped a priceless load of soul nourishing recognition for my efforts right here on this forum. So there you have it; no more ignorance for you! Don
